Yes sir
i watched a long video of policeman practicing on those big white bikes and man i tell ya lol it was so hillarious they kept falling over on simple manouevors
i bet if u really wanted u can show us some crazy shit on that bike how about if u gotta get over a stick in the road or a dead deer and u didnt see it fast enough can u bunny hop lol
When are you supposed to counterbalance? I see cops counter balance on tight turns---is that just a different technique that also works??
Had to be amused when the subtitles showed “music” when the bike scraped the pavement.
😆😆
Scraping that fire extinguisher
Friend 1: "Can I borrow your bike for a video?"
Friend 2: "Yes of course, just don't scrape it please."
Friend 1:
lol
I say if you’re not gonna scrape a bike with limited lean angle don’t own it 🤷🏻.
@@DustinTavo ok
@@DustinTavo well, that doesn’t make much sense… :\
Nice bike 😊👍
This video made my day. Your videos on slow riding on big bikes have been very helpful for me. Seeing a new video with the Springfield Dark Horse is icing on the cake. I reserved one recently.
awesome! :)
Indian makes beautiful bikes. Do you still have yours and are you happy with it?
Love seeing you on a big cruiser. Great video. I run through those same exercises weekly on my road king. Now that I'm riding two up with the wife I take her with me and practice slow speed maneuvers two up. It really adds to the enjoyment of riding and increases my safety while riding by being confident in handling the big bike at slow speeds.
:) thanks
Just wanna say daaaaaamn, that point at the end where you basically just inched in a turn was crazy impressive to me lol.
Very good control and balance you have, plus thank you for the awesome tips. This video really helped me with my slalom practice today.
Thanks for sharing.
Rode dirt bikes as a kid .
So 30 flipping years later.
After divorce bought a HD P/A s .
Considered a smaller bike to get back into it. But really wanted a great bike.
Maybe to big.
You're videos help me so much.
I'm an awesome white belt at 50.
Practice BJJ and new bike.
Thanks for your help👍
thanks!
I friggen love this channel. Just got a Harley Road Glide and what he's doing requires a hell of a lot of practice. These bikes are heeeaaaavvvyy. I've been going to practice every day - figure eights, circles, friction zone, etc. It's amazing, it works! But to really get comfortable leaning like that, you gotta practice. So I"m going to shut up and go practice! Whoop! Thanks Eddie!
Like many others who have made this same comment, THIS is the video that I've been waiting to see! Thank you very much for posting it. I have found it very helpful. Now, having said that, I will head out tomorrow to practice what you are teaching and I KNOW that I will fail! I have been trying everyday for four weeks now, to do an 18' u-turn. My objective is to do a full-lock u-turn, but I will be happy if I can do 18' consistently. Here is my problem - I get set to do the u-turn, adjust my speed, I have the friction zone no problem, I turn my head right around, then I start to lean the bike, BUT I can lean only so far then I chicken out!! Why does this happen??? I can do 20' u-turns no problem, left and right. How can I overcome this fear of having the motorcycle falling right over? I guess the main question that I have that no one on any video has explained to me, is, will the motorcycle NOT fall over as long as I have power to the rear wheel and I'm doing at least 5mph?? I want to be able to hear the scrape on this u-turn! I scrape on higher speed turns on the road, so I know that I CAN lean that far. Thank you!!!
❤️👍🏼
Great timing. I love info on heavy cruisers as I have. 800 lb VTX 1800
You handled that so well
Thanks! 👍
Awesome video! I haven't ridden in 45 years and am taking it up again at 68 years old. Vids like are such a great tool for prople like me, trying to learn to handle a cruiser after so long away.
I see stuff like that and think: OK, now I know how to do it. Then I try it myself and think: Damn, when I watched the video I knew how to do it...
:)
The ending slow as a snail, how to win slow races!..man! Now that’s helping me so much when it comes to my practice
Excellent demo and instruction! Concept of remaining vertical and having the bike roll right or left has under you has helped me with slow speed turns. Since the center of gravity of a sitting human is about at the height of your solar plexus, remaining vertical does provide some counter weighting since the CG of your body is “on the out side” of the CG of the “rolled to the inside” bike.
Glad it was helpful!
I've been trying to apply what you teach in videos to my riding on a big cruiser which is all I ride. More techniques for big cruisers would be very greatly appreciated & gratefully watched!!
Awesome!
Sure likes ride the clutch.
Boom…lean angle at speed is risk while at low speed it is turning radius…wonderful observation. Huge insight for me as a student of yours. And putting your feet on the high bars is a black belt Jedi level skill demonstration. Wow. Now do the slow race with high feet!
yes! :)
Biggest takeaway for me was NOT to use the rear brake when learning. He's right, it's a crutch. If you cannot master leaning and turning without rear brake, you are missing the fundamentals
clutch and throttle first!!

I'm new on big crusiers and I really appreciate your lessons. And now just need to practice, practice & practice.
Amazing video - thank you!
Excellent,beautiful bike thanks for sharing this,GOOD MORNING from Toronto on my way out for a ride,CHEERS
thanks :)
Hi, Thanks for this. I am amped up to get out and practice. I know practice, and speed, is probably the answer to my issue, but its that initial start to the turn when the bars feel like they want to tuck and fall into the turn that gets me. I also tend to overthink it. Years ago, before we had "training and knowledge", I don't think I had any problem with U-turns. If I missed the turn, I turn round and go back, now my head spins with all the things I have to do to make the turn. Doh!
welcome!! :)
Yeah that’s the motorcycle I have the worst time trying to lean with., but your Elvis move from another vid really helped me lean it.. then I just had to get used to what speed I need. I usually stay in second for my tight turns on any bike.. then just friction zone it while having a bit of gas pulled the whole time so when I let out on the friction zone the motorcycle gas sone more umph.
This is the exact video I've been waiting for! With a bit of practice I can now gracefully U turn my Springfield, not run wide on hairpins, and not waddle the bike around with my feet like a fool! :) Thanks!
Get to it!
I was waiting almost two years, for this video, right after I got my 2019 springfield white smoke Indian. I feel more confident now. Thanks for sharing your diversity knowledge on bikes. (I have two hands, two thumbs up!!) Let's practice!!
Waiting for 2 years? I already have numerous videos of me riding heavy cruisers :) lol now go practice!
You don't fool me, Eddie! You erased the cables in post-production! There is a full movie crew with an FX team behind the camera. The audacity!
hahahaha
Actually, I think it's all managed by by powerful electro-magnetic fields skillfully controlled by commands hidden in gloves and boots.
Another awe inspiring video Greg, You instill confidence in me/us through your chat and actions and make this all look easy, and its not! - But there is an unsung hero involved in all or most of your videos and their work is absolutely up there with yours, comparatively, and that's the camera man (or woman) - They are always exactly where they are supposed to be with the correct zoom and keeping you center frame, no shaking or incorrect exposure and always perfect audio, just like you they DO IT RIGHT!
So I must send a big thank you to them also, so well deserved, and keep it up!
❤️👍🏼
So matter of the fact explanation. Excellent style, the way you explain
❤️👍🏼
That Indian motorcycle is Beautiful. Great demonstration video...you can talk the talk and also walk the walk...impressive :)
thanks :)
Your videos have been really helpful in improving my slow speed maneuvers on my VROD. It has a 260 rear tire and the only way to get it to turn is to lean to the point where my heels drag. My dragging noises aren't nearly as cool sounding as those were!
Great demonstration indeed! Thank you so much. "Good stuff"
👍🏼
I also noticed how early you turned your head each time. Your line of vision moved before you even finished the crossover of the figure 8. And that line of vision was almost behind your shoulder. You've talked about vision in other videos, now I'm seeing it more clearly.
:)
I love how you kept the stall in! Happens to the best of us.
👍🏼
Slow race stuff looks great! Let me see you do your brown belt figure 8 on that with a passenger. That's something I'm currently working on with my road king. Great stuff Greg!
thanks
Great tips as always. Even though I don't own a heavy cruiser, this is still helpful to me. Thanks!
❤️👍🏼
The most difficult thing for me turning tight radius turns is the throttle.. i often accidentally give too much gas or maybe not enough.. it’s like it escapes me before I realize it
Nice job on slow speed...Thanks
As a motorcycle camper I love the placement of the extra gas bottle. It would also be a good place for a small fire extinguisher for remote camping.
👍🏼👍🏼
THANK YOU! Finally a demonstration on my bike. Now I know it's possible :)
of course it is! :)
Dude, you throw it around like a Boss! Nice job!!
Thanks!
don't know if I'm missing something or not - are you countering steering for slow speed maneuvers? On my bike I counter balance (Torso mostly - higher speeds may stand a little{great for off road}) -and under 5 mph do basic steering usually can make 16 foot turns with out the brake just playing the friction zone (light bike 440 lbs)l if for some reason (Rarely happens) I will transition to counter steering if need be. At higher speeds on my bike 5 mph I always counter steer
Yo! That Was DOPE!!! ...hellow from 1989 :-)..... Will practice this soon.
Incredible!! That was fun to watch - still working on it over here. TY!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video ! I look forward to being able to make simple right turns, left turns, and u turns as easy as you make this look! Just started riding this season and do mostly highway (rode about 4k miles so far), now I need to do more sitting in a parking lot and practicing! Especially with the ninja. I find my harley much easier to ride.
Get out there and practice! :)
Great job! I’m glad our BMW’s don’t drag the foot pegs while doing figure eights and U turns.↩️🔁
They could with a lot of lean
You make it look so easy!!!
Awesome skills brother! Keep up the great work and doing your part in making riders safer!
Wishing you many safe miles ahead!
Train Hard & Ride Safe!
Thanks! Will do!
Leaning bike, basic tip that I learned from you. My question/request is, Could you make a video about"low speed manuever at slippery surface(fuel/oil spilled, icy surface, loose ground etc.) Thank you very much
Take dirt bike courses…if on the street, I wouldn’t be doing u-turns through spilled oil, I would avoid it all.
Love the cruiser vids
❤️👍🏼
Harkins back to your older videos on the GS 😊 Cool to see you whip around that big ass cruiser 🤙
:)
Would like to see you try these maneuvers on a honda fury.
I can hear you scrape the left foot peg! Thanks for sharing
I really love this content. I love all of your content, but this i really love. Thank you again, for awesome content!
Glad you enjoy it!
AWESOME!!!
There are many ways to do the same thing. Practice helps you find what your comfortable with. Thank you FE
❤️👍🏼
Brilliant lesson👌🏾
Fantastic! Great 'must-see' video.
❤️👍🏼
You look good on that big old bagger it's nice to see you on something like that even if it's not a Hurley I'll take it I don't know if your body appreciate you scraping the shit out of his pipes or pegs or whatever it was though I know I was cringing with each scrape
He loved it
I know it's not what the film's about, but damn what a gorgeous bike!
that sounds amazing
when he added brakes.....lol....i thought they switched it to slow motion mode or i was getting glitchy wifi lol fantastic control!
Thank you for leading the way 💪💪💪
No problem 👍
You are good! Thank you 😊
Nice I hope to ride like you someday 👍🏼
Hi, totally blown away by your skills! Thanks.
welcome
Show off! Seriously though, excellent stuff. You are so right - practise, practise, practise ........
ATVB
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the lesson!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice Counter Lean dude love it
thanks
Slow speed drills ( figure 8’s - circle an object - braking to stop 15’ - u turns - slalom - staggered slalom - 90 degree turn from stop -
90 degree turn from speed - etc. practice these things constantly… one hand turns - I could go on…
:)
Man that pipe is so loud that it distorted the audio to an another dimension lol. Great vid as always
thanks
Hey so if I’m understanding this right, during slow turns you more so push the bike over and stay upright where as fast curves it’s more of your body hanging off the bike? And what exactly is the advantage of the rear break? I just got a bigger cruiser and haven’t ridden in 3 years, and when I did ride it’s only been sport bikes lol. Thanks for the help!
That was amazing.
I love your content
Thank you so much!
thats a great riding example . your pretty good
wait til you watch more of my videos
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
@@MotoJitsu im almost ready to ride the wall after practising the tight lean u turns
Genuine question: is the bike designed for the floorboards to scrape the ground, or will thet take off paint and cause rust?
i always watch all your videos sir, and seems it helped me a lot since I'm a newbie on motorbikes i came from automatic scooters..do you have a video on how to enter and exit a traffic sign in just a normal speed on a traffic and what gear should it be?
you always stop and start in 1st gear...and go ride. You'll learn through experience.
Thanks great video
You do make it look so easy - because, after practicing, it is! 😃
you really deserve more subs
keep sharing the videos and talking to others about the channel :)
Great demonstration and performance
thanks
Easy peasy.
The question is how to install a clutch on my bicycle.
Please do a video with the 2018 to 2020 Yamaha star venture transcontinental it would give me so much more confidence 🙏
We all should really thank Ken for this! :)
:)
Please do the same demo with a DCT bike, like a Gold Wing. I do figure 8s with mine, but my 8s are pretty big. Rear brake dragging helps, but I need more practice (I've already shut up...) Even with practice, more tips would be appreciated.
I have videos of me riding an electric bike and scooters, all the same pretty much. Throttle control and rear brake.
For perspective, what was your speed during this?
Awesome video as always. I can do this stuff no problem on my buddies heavy Harley but I'm struggling with my GSA. I know, shut up and practice :-D
❤️👍🏼
Really cool
thanks
What is your advice for a heavy front fairing motorcycle like the BMW R18 Bagger? It feels like if your lean it and turn the bar more to get a sharper turn, the bike wants to drop!!! 😬. The R18 bagger front fairing has a lot of weight.
Same as any other bike honestly...it's all the same. I have a whole playlist of slow speed turning giving all the advice I have but it really boils down to a few things: you need more speed than what you think to get the lean angle you need to make tight turns, and it's all about throttle and clutch control...maybe a little rear brake but it's not needed 100% of the time.
@@MotoJitsu thank you! Just gonna have to practice more and trust the rules.
a big fear for anyone is dropping the bike...if you're wanting to get good at this stuff, need to understand this is a natural process and dropping the bike probably will happen. That's why I recommend crash protection.
Hey FE! As far as I know, one can perform Figure 8's adopting the English style (counter weight), which I see it's the technique you use. On the other hand, you can also ride by pointing your whole torso & shoulders towards the objective, adding some revs to create engine momentum. What's your thoughts on the last technique?
Many ways to do one thing :)
Great video; thanks for sharing.
welcome!
How much trouble do you give in terms of RPM? 1500 or 2000 RPM. Thanks.
Most excellent! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Cool stuff! Great reminder counter balancing isn’t necessary. Love it. Thanks
:)
Skill
❤️👍🏼
ok Master Eddy... I will shut up... and practice I will.
BTW nice cruiser ;:-)
❤️👍🏼
Greg, can you explain what makes the bike want to remain vertical only when power is going to the rear wheel? I get the gyroscopic effect when at speed but never understood at slow speeds.
Momentum. Speed equals stability
Thanks! I've got the same bike.
👍🏼
Great video, but damn I hated to hear that scraping noise on that 2019.
Damn those alloys are clean.
:)
At what age are you finally going to learn the correct pant length to buy?
the low speed / no speed at the very end - ~ 6:20 was killer
:)
superb
